In Tokyo, even the most fierce dragon is afraid of the hatchet

Unlike Ikeda Xiaoye's murderous look, those dark eyes were unfathomable and one could never guess what the other person was thinking.

What's worse is that even though I was very cautious, I still fell in love with him involuntarily.

If not, how could he be so excited and full of energy just by her teasing?

The other party is obviously very good at taking advantage of human nature, and can easily take advantage of food, sex and desire. He is even better at deceiving people than the leader of a pyramid scheme.

But one thing is absolutely correct, Ikeda Sakurako is very purposeful in doing things. Just as she said, feelings are just excuses and sustenance that the weak find for themselves. There must be some ulterior motive for being friendly with me.

I just keep thinking about it, but I can't figure out what it is about me that the other person needs.

But now, when the other party mentioned "us", his expression was natural, and it didn't seem like he had any ulterior motive or psychological suggestion at all.

Why do I always feel that this woman is really good to me without asking for anything in return?

Because I'm too handsome, so you want my body?

Nagano Naoio himself didn't believe such an excuse, but his intuition told him that the other party really had no purpose.

Although those eyes were deep, there was no calculation in them.

Is it because the disguise is too good and I can't see it, or...he will never understand even if you kill me because a personality different from Japanese men is what Ikeda Sakurako needs most.

Accidentally.

Their eyes met.

Nagano Nao didn't dodge and asked directly: "What does this have to do with us?!"

Our me!

How could Ikeda Sakurako not understand at this time? She said with interest: "No matter how good a sword is, it will get rusty if it is always hidden in the sheath."

"I just really don't understand!" Nagano Nao pretended to be stupid.

Ikeda Sakurako did not expose his suspicion and disguise, but just sneered: "What an idiot, life is like chess, and chess is like life. Just like this step of leaving the chariot, from the moment you came, there was no choice, you could only consider whether to save the chariot or the horse. Moreover, the change of the world is now a major event in the world, and no one in the world can stay out of it, whether he is willing or not. You are not naive to think that the current domestic situation will not change, and there will be good days in the future, right? When we set up the Three Friends, if the Takeshita faction continues to control the cabinet, you and I will be suppressed and marginalized!"

This is indeed the truth.

Since the Rokubonme incident, although he had gained some benefits, it was equivalent to standing on the side of Ikeda Sakurako.

The purpose is also very clear. They want to grab resources from the vested interest factions, and wait for the other party to catch their breath. Suppression and marginalization are the inevitable result.

Although this answer is very true, I don’t know why I feel a little lost in my heart.

I am such a cheapskate!

Still looking forward to love!

Secretly despising himself, Nagano Nao said unhappily: "Even so, there is no point in always doing this kind of thing."

"Naive, heroes emerge in troubled times because troubled times need heroes.

Just as King Zhou of Shang abolished slavery, stopped human sacrifice, and improved the status of women, it was undoubtedly a blessing for ordinary people.

However, such actions undoubtedly infringed upon the interests of the major slave owners. Primitive religions were also dissatisfied with the weakening of religious power, and eventually they pretended to obey and intensified oppression and exploitation, causing the people to live in misery and suffering.

However, ordinary people are ignorant and attribute their misfortunes to King Zhou. As the saying goes, "God sees as the people see, and God hears as the people hear", they mean to obey the will of God. Wars broke out everywhere, the whole world rebelled, and the Shang Dynasty was destroyed.

Qin Shi Huang ended seven hundred years of war, and it was a blessing that people no longer had to fight and hate each other. However, the Qin Dynasty perished in just two generations, and the paradise returned to war and fighting.

What is the difference between its reasons and those of the Shang Dynasty?

The old aristocracy controlled the academic cliques and secretly colluded with the remnants of the six kingdoms. Even the people within the empire were dissatisfied, and they pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed, making the world believe that the Qin Dynasty was harsh and tyrannical and that they should rebel.

When the First Emperor was alive, he was just one man, suppressing the whole world, and naturally no one dared to rebel. However, he was still a human being, and the Qin Empire would inevitably disappear with his death.

Frankly speaking, it is not worth mentioning. Heaven is unfair and human nature is selfless, so no matter how strong the fortress is, it will be breached from the inside, just like the current changes in Eastern Europe. "

They are all incoherent and sound too much of a hassle to think about.

It took Nagano Nao a long time to figure out what it meant.

As a result, a huge wave gradually rose in his heart, getting higher and higher, until it completely submerged his heart.

These days, he has long discovered that there is actually no bubble in the Japanese economy.

In other words, such a bubble is really nothing!

Just as the experts on TV said, Japan has a small population and more mountains, and the highest population density in the world. In contrast, real estate has permanent property rights and can be inherited by ancestors.

An ordinary wage earner can buy a single-family villa with ten years’ income. If this is called a bubble, then there is no bubble!

Given Japan's economic strength, even if it is delayed for another ten or twenty years, it will definitely not be a problem.

But in the end, the bubble burst!

Twenty, thirty years lost… maybe even forty to eternity.

Naoio Nagano has always felt that it was because of external pressure that the Japanese yen had to give way to the US dollar and was forced to burst its own bubble to provide blood transfusion to the United States.

Only now did he feel that things were far more complicated than he had imagined!

Sensing Nagano Nao's inner turmoil, Ikeda Sakurako looked up at him, her starry eyes as vast as the abyss, swallowing up the sight.

"Behind the current cabinet is Takeshita Noboru's connections at Waseda University, which have controlled public opinion for many years. Hashimoto Ryutaro has enormous power in the Ministry of Finance, and he has the support of the Mitakai and the cooperation with major financial groups. It is not easy to get them out.

But interests mean responsibilities, power means obligations, and status means responsibility.

So it is not a big deal for Tanaka to be promoted, and it is also a small matter to short the stock market, but it is a big deal for him to enter the Cultural Affairs Bureau and control public opinion. If the cabinet's economic and diplomatic strategies fail, leading to a stock market crash, a real estate crash, and countless people going bankrupt, losing their jobs, and committing suicide, what do you think people need most at that time? ! "

What do you need most?

The economic base determines the social order, and the social order determines the political environment.

Because poverty breeds change.

When people are facing difficulties in life and economic pressure, they will need change. When the economic situation gets worse, someone will stand up and will naturally be supported. This is the general trend.

If they cannot keep it, it means they are not a qualified cabinet and they will inevitably step down!

If a hero appears to change this situation, that is the way of heaven and what the people want. Even if he is not a hero, people psychologically need the current bear to roll away.

The current situation between the East and the West is changing. In this trend, the Takeshita faction and the Ministry of Finance, due to their status and responsibilities as vested interests, must protect the economy and fertility rate.

The best way to force them out of office is naturally to disrupt the economic order.

If we just fight, people will definitely die, a lot of people will die.

Unemployment, bankruptcy, suicide!

The documents left behind after the bubble burst recorded this, and Sakurako Ikeda obviously knew this as well.

When the sky is murderous, the stars will move and change their positions; when the earth is murderous, dragons and snakes will rise from the land; when people are murderous, heaven and earth will be reversed; when heaven and people are murderous together, the foundation for all changes will be established.

After understanding the meaning of this sentence, Nagano Nao felt a chill all over his body, a chill that penetrated his soul to the bone.

For the sake of power, they don't even care about human lives. Don't these bastards have any humanity at all?

A question lingered in my mind.

Is this your purpose, Ikeda?

It is really abominable that the struggle for power and interests causes the deaths of many people in one's own country!

The grassroots mentality is deeply rooted, and Nagano Nao couldn't help but flash a trace of anger across his face as he looked at Ikeda Sakurako.

Their eyes met.

Therefore, each other's thoughts can be sensed.

There was no emotion in Sakurako Ikeda's eyes, but when she looked at the pair of eyes not far away, a ripple arose deep in her heart.

Somewhat angry.

How can a strong person pity the weak?

And a little relieved.

The person you choose is always right!

Ikeda Sakurako said calmly: "Straight man, are you angry?"

"Don't you think this is abominable?"

"Is it hateful? The world has been changing for thousands of years. Is there any difference between the world today and the past? Countries are fighting and people are suffering. No matter how you choose, there will inevitably be sacrifices. The path of the strong is like this. Let alone some ants, even if the people of the world are in front of you, what difference does it make?"

"..."

Nagano Nao said nothing. His three views were shocked. He couldn't believe that he would hear such inhumane words.

Ikeda Sakurako's eyes were still calm, but seeing his pale face, they softened: "I understand your feelings, but this is your right! If you can't make yourself as hard as stone and lose your conscience, you can completely think of it as doing it for the overall situation."

"What's the big picture?!"

"The destiny is in China. We can deepen cooperation with China, but many people have been too deeply involved with the United States in the long-term development. We don't want the existing situation to be changed. However, if we continue like this, it will definitely bring a heavier price. Isn't it a better choice when we can accept the bubble bursting?"

China?

cooperate!

Nagano Nao suddenly remembered that he was a fake Japanese!

Snapped!

Nagano Nao slapped himself.

He didn't understand what assimilation meant before, but now he realizes how terrible it is.

I almost betrayed my ancestors!

Oh shit.

How could I forget such an important thing!

Realize this.

The anger in my heart was completely gone.

Sakurako Ikeda was stunned for a moment. No matter how smart she was, she couldn't understand why Nagano Nao would slap her.
